Prince William And Kate Middleton Celebrated New Year’s Eve In A Teepee

After spending Christmas with the royal family, Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to go visit Kate’s family in Berkshire, where they could let their hair down (read: get wasted) on New Year’s Eve away from the prying eyes of TV cameras. This meant partying in a £3,000 version of a kata, a tent traditionally used used by the nomadic Sami people of Lapland, which party planner extraordinairePippa had set up in Ma and Pa Middleton’s backyard. Someone well-versed in British culture, tell me: does it offend you, yeah?

And because there’s nothing better than coming home for a visit and playing with your parents’ animals, here’s a photo the paps managed to snap of Kate running around with her parents’ dogs earlier in the day (that small black blur is apparently a puppy):
